How to publish opengraph actions in rails using app access token

Question

Hi I want publish open graph actions for my rails app. I want to publish simple todo sharing action. I got following code to do that

https://graph.facebook.com/me/[YOUR_APP_NAMESPACE]:todo
     ?recipe=OBJECT_URL&access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN

Now my problem is I want to use app access token to do this post request, but when I use app_token I get following error.

{    "error": {
      "message": "An active access token must be used to query information about the current user.",
      "type": "OAuthException",
 "code": 2500    }
}

I tried above url from browser.I want to know how to make post request from rails controller & how to publish open graph action using app_access token?

Answer 1

Because you're using an app access token, the special id me has no meaning.

If you want to publish actions on behalf of a user using an app token, you need to do:

https://graph.facebook.com/[USER_ID]/[YOUR_APP_NAMESPACE]:todo
 ?recipe=OBJECT_URL&access_token=APP_ACCESS_TOKEN

Note, the user specified in the path must have already granted your app permission to publish actions.
